plot.NetworkSperical.startSet {netbiov} | R Documentation

## Exploratory visualization of information spread of biological networks

### Description

Global layout style:

A visualization of network in a 'star-like' form. An initial set of nodes are placed in the corner of polygons. The neighbors are then plotted above these nodes in an arc form. Whenever a node is encountered with multiple neighbors, neighbors are plotted in the direction of that node in an arc form. This process continues until all the nodes are placed. This gives a star-like view of the network.

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'NetworkSperical.startSet'
    plot(x, mo="in", nc=5, tkplot=FALSE,
    v.lab=FALSE, v.size=2, bg="black", ...)

### Arguments

`x` | `x` is a graph object created from an adjacency matrix or from a tabular data of two columns using `graph()` function available in `igraph`.
`mo` | `mo` represents the mode of nodes. Options are `in` or `out`.
`nc` | `nc` is a numeric value representing the total number of corners to be plotted, initially at the center position of a polygon.
`tkplot` | it is a boolean variable, if it is true, function will use 'tkplot' function to plot a graph, if it is false function will use plot function with the black background.
`...` | `...` parameter for other inputs.
`v.lab` | `v.lab` is a logical value to show vertex label.
`v.size` | `v.size` is a numeric value to assign the size of nodes.
`bg` | `bg`is a color value to adjust background color of the plot.

### Value

Plots the input graph object using `tkplot` function.
